Projects totaling more than Rs 62,000 crore were examined at the PRAGATI conference, which was led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and involved the Centre and state governments. PRAGATI is an ICT-based multi-modal platform for Pro-Active Governance and Timely Implementation.
In his post on Thursday, PM Modi shared information about the meeting, stating that it covered a variety of topics, including semiconductors, water resources, power, and highways.
“Today, I chaired a PRAGATI meeting whereover Rs. 62,000 crore worth of projects covering a variety of sectors like roads, power, water resources, semiconductors, and more were reviewed,” he stated.
Making sure all infrastructure projects are finished on schedule has been emphasized by the prime minister. He emphasized the need of completing all infrastructure projects on schedule and discussed complaints pertaining to RERA as well. “Ensuring justice for homebuyers is a top priority for our government,” the prime minister stated in the statement.
Throughout the discussion, the Prime Minister examined three significant infrastructure projects in the areas of water resources, power, and road transportation that totaled more than Rs 62,000 crore and were spread across several States and Union Territories.
According to a government press release, “he called for concerted efforts to overcome implementation bottlenecks and ensure their timely completion, emphasizing the strategic importance of these projects.”
The Prime Minister emphasized the negative effects of project delays and restated that they not only raise prices but also deny citizens access to infrastructure and vital services.
He emphasized that timely delivery is essential to maximizing socioeconomic outcomes and asked all stakeholders to place a high priority on efficiency and accountability.
The Prime Minister emphasized the need to enhance the caliber and promptness of grievance resolution in order to guarantee justice and equity for purchasers during a review of public complaints related to the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA).
He requested that state governments make sure that all qualified real estate developments are required to register under the RERA Act. Restoring confidence in the housing market depends on rigorous adherence to RERA regulations, the prime minister said.
PM Modi looked at noteworthy best practices pertaining to the growth of India’s semiconductor ecosystem. The National Semiconductor Mission may be strengthened, he said, by encouraging wider adoption across states and union territories and acting as a model for others.
The government claims that 373 projects totaling around Rs 20.64 lakh crore have been reviewed up to the current PRAGATI meetings.
